Collection Name:
Bent-Hyde Papers, 1905-1918
Collection Description:
This collection consists of original maps detailing locations of Indigenous nations in North America and military positions in areas such as Sand Creek and the Arkansas River. It includes correspondence between George Bent, a Cheyenne-American interpreter, George Hyde, a white historian, and George Grinnell, a white anthropologist while covering the years 1905-1918. In the interest of preserving and presenting the historical records, the University Libraries collects materials that document the perspectives presented by the creators. As a result, this collection contains objectionable depictions and language that do not reflect the current preferred terminology, or the values and norms of the University Libraries. CU Boulder Libraries acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. While the University of Colorado Boulder can never undo or rectify the devastation wrought on Indigenous peoples, we commit to improving and enhancing engagement with Indigenous peoples and issues locally and globally.

Inscription Text:
[Cataloger's note: Transcriptions come from a variety of resouces including legacy archival description and George Hyde's and George Grinnell's notes as documented by Jean Afton.] This map was made for me by George Bent, to illustrate the movements of the Indigenous people at the time of the fight with Col. Blunts force, in the summer or early fall of 1864. 1. He has marked on the head of Walnut Cr which he calls Ash Cr the "Chey and Arap Village, 1864" Just east of this village he marks a dot and the words "Blunt's Battle." That is the scene of the fight. 2. He marks "Blunt's trail" running from Ft. Larned up Pawnee Fork and the across to the Indian camp on Ash Creek. Pawnee fork he marks "Call by all Indians Red Sleeves Creek." 3. He marks the trail used by the Indigenous people in retiring after the Blunt fight-- it runs west from the head of Ash Cr, the turns n-e and goes to the Smoky Hill at the mouth of Rush Creek, where Black Kettle was in camp with his band of Cheyennes. Rush Cr isBent's name for the modern Ladder Creek.This trail Bent marks "Trail after B. (Blunt) Fight." And he marks Black Kettle's camp, "Black Kettle's Chey camp 1864"
